SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Russ Hog This movie recaps the 2016 election. It shows how both the left wing and the right wing reacted so emotionally to Trump that they lost touch with reality and made bad choices and were easy to defeat. It also shows that the current elite in politics and media are detached from how much of the rest of the world views them...and mistrusts and dislikes them. There was true rage against the elite in the United States. Much like in the trial of OJ Simpson, the jury was so disgusted with the LAPD that they saw their verdict as justice to let a guilty man to walk free to make up for all of the crimes committed against the black community. Trump winning was Americans reacting with disgust to our current system. To either go twenty more years in the same direction, or to change direction dramatically. The founding fathers intended for the American people to be able to use reason to elect our leaders. It seemed that reason was lost to this election, but perhaps there is a poetic justice to the results of the 2016 election and perhaps...like OJ Simpson...there will be more chapters to come where the pendulum swings the other way.
CocksureBurns Despite the fragile butt-hurt feelings of interviewers Halperin and Heilemann, Trump is obviously the right man for the times. Sometimes one needs to break a few heads, and conventional wisdoms to make an omelet. A HUGE, beautiful, winning bigly omelet. And, as Halperin, Heilemann and McKinnon indicate, while nobody expected a moose-turd omelet for breakfast, that IS what was ordered. Shut-up and eat it.Obama broke the 'white ceiling'. HRC broke the 'glass ceiling' (by being the first woman to win the presidential nomination of a major US political party). Now the tremendous Donald J. Trump has broken the 'rubber ceiling'.He has given inspiration to mental defectives everywhere to live their dreams of world domination. No more play-acting out your jerk-water fantasies in a padded room with action figures. Shed your straight jackets and fully realize your wildest alternative realities! The election of this fabulous Reality TV star has shown the low I.Q. populace that if you pool your resources with other intellectually challenged sociopaths, there's no limit to what you can't imagine to have accomplished. The future is as bright as your tinfoil hat!
schweikart First, there is little original in this documentary: it is 100% taken from "The Circus," the Showtime series on the 2016 election with Mark Halperin, Mark Mckinnon, and John Heilemann, liberals all. Second, for the subtitle "Inside the Greatest Political Upset of All Time," there is almost zero understanding of why this happened.Heilemann's final "Americans wanted to throw a bomb into Washington and see where the rubble bounces" comment was not enlightening as to WHY a bomb is needed in the first place, or why the horrid Obama regime had drive so many white, black and Hispanic Americans to desperation. Van Jones's inane comments about the election being about race shows (thank God) that the moronic media still doesn't even begin to understand what happened. One would think a movie like this would have tried to explain just that.There is an amazing scene, totally un-commented upon (probably unnoticed) that occurs with Heilemann and Halperin immediately after Trump won the primary as they sit at a restaurant with Robbie Mook and John Podesta. The Politico guys are saying in essence, "Well, his tactics worked so far, but they won't work on you, right? RIGHT????" Mook was all sunshine pumping, but Podesta looked very, very concerned and said that the traditional slime tactics used by Democrats would not work on Trump, that he was impervious to that. My belief is that the knew then they were in for a helluva fight, and on the night before the election--in a clip the movie did NOT use---again Halperin asked Podesta about his confidence and rather than saying they had it in the bag, he deflected, dodged, and was again very, very concerned (cause he knew the real numbers, and likely was afraid to tell Hillary).The documentary did an extreme disservice by not capturing any of Hillary's meltdown on election night. but overall, the lack of any serious analysis as to Trump's strengths, the lack of curiosity as to why virtually EVERY poll was wrong at state levels---this is a lame attempt and we still await a real, solid documentary about the election.
georgemabny I've watched "the circus - the greatest etc..." from day one.It ended before election day with the presenters effectively saying they'd eat their hats if trump got elected.what an anti-climax.Subsequently Heilemann and Halperin and their show "with all due respect" were dropped by bloomberg during a changing of the guard.I was gutted ... where was the follow up? Where were they eating their hats (figuratively)? I'm half way through this 'finale' because I'm savouring watching the second half.I only wish the brits had done a similar show on brexit - they probably will in time.My only criticism is that there is too much cursing by Heilemann which he must think is either cool or acceptable.
